1509 Isaiah 10


For the leaders of this people cause them to err ; and they that are led
of them are destroyed.
Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither
shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows : for every one is a
hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all
this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
¶ For wickedness burneth as the fire : it shall devour the briers and
thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall
mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and
the people shall be as the fuel of the fire : no man shall spare his
brother.
And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry ; and he shall
eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied : they shall eat
every man the flesh of his own arm :
Manasseh, Ephraim ; and Ephraim, Manasseh : and they together
shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but
his hand is stretched out still.

10

Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write
grievousness which they have prescribed ;
to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right
from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and
that they may rob the fatherless!
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation
which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and
where will ye leave your glory?
Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they
shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away,
but his hand is stretched out still.
